Summary
The summer of 1815 was by all accounts the most charming on record in the neighborhood of —shire. The weather was fine, the parties were finer still, and every person in company commented that they had never known a sweeter season, nor did they ever wish to. It was a summer of national importance, if my reader will remember, but there is much that was not set down in the history books.
There was, to bring forward but one minor local tale, the story of the house of —shield, and of the two American military men who found themselves quartered there and ever after changed by the course of nature and their hearts.
